Hyperion Guards wear heavy armour making them very durable but also very slow, capable of only moving at a walking pace. In addition to their body armour they carry heavy, bullet-proof riot shields. In their other hand they wield a sidearm, usually a repeater pistol or revolver. They frequently have shields on top of their heavy armour, adding to their already impressive durability. Hyperion Guards wear a helmet that resembles a gas mask while their Claptrapped counterparts (see below) wear a balaclava.

Appearances

Strategy

Hyperion Guards show no interest in seeking cover, preferring instead to rely on their riot shields. When under fire they will move slowly forward or back, covering themselves closely with their shields, thus presenting a dramatically reduced targeting opportunity for enemies in front of them.

While their shields are bullet-proof and protect a large portion of their body, shots to their shield will cause the Guard to flinch and recoil his shield, making him temporarily vulnerable. Sniper rifles and automatic weapons are most effective on Guards. Sniper rifles can strike with precision at their head from a distance, while semi-automatic weapons can knock the shield aside and damage them with critical hits and body shots. Corrosive weaponry is highly effective against Guards.
